2017 Bodegas Alma Negra M Blend
Argentina- Mendoza

Winemaker’s Notes: Shows elegant notes of spice aromas, Violets and mature blueberries. The palate has a great body, powerful but balanced. The secrets of this blend incite enjoyment without revealing itself. Dense, dark and tasty, so intriguing, with aromas of black fruit, coffee and a wonderful earthy smell. On the palate, it flows smoothly with rounded tannins complete with echoes of ripe cooked fruit.

Winemaker’s Notes: Like all Pepière Muscadet wines, the fruit is direct-pressed and the juice settled naturally for 12 hours. It’s then fermented in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts; the wine is aged on its lees in large, underground vats until bottling without fining or filtering. For the Sur Lie bottling, Pépière bottles and releases it in several stages. It is the benchmark style of the estate: racy, crisp, acid- amd mineral-driven.
